Also, what's wrong with "white-nationalist" specifically?

lines up nicely

the amount of people who are middle class with a second home is rare. if you can afford another dwelling, you can pay more tax on it. lets not be this disconnected.

saying infinity is a mathematical symbol we can observe is simplifying it way too much, all mathematical symbols are abstractions.

i can observe two apples. i cannot observe infinity apples.

i dont disagree. but there is a difference between great design and entirely acceptable and shippable design.

you can always fire it up yourself and see what its all about. in my experience it generates a lot of code very quickly, that code is probably only ever supposed to be LLM maintained, not by people.

what are you even talking about? they arent suppressing free speech, they are leaving a platform. this might be the most bot-like response ive ever seen, if youre not a bot then go outside, read a book, just log off my goodness.

in general these types of attacks are still difficult to solve, because there are a lot of different ways they can be formulated. llm based security is still and unknown, but mostly i have seen people using intermediary steps to parse question intent and return canned responses if the question seems outside the intended modality.

i actually agree with this take; i dont see the problem that smart glasses solve. what, my phone screen isnt literally in front of my eyeballs 24/7? i have a need to be absolutely plugged into scrolling social media and consuming content so much that i just have to have the screen in my glasses? this feels much more like what tech companies want people to want rather than what people want.

what would you prefer? i liked rust a lot as i found the compiler feedback loop pretty great, but the language was much more verbose and i found the simplicity of Go to be great, and the typing system is good enough for almost everything.

i think they dont have a great moat in their individual offerings, but across square, cash app, and afterpay they offer a pretty good suite of products for the entire transaction stack.

it seems they believed that superior models would be the moat, but when deepseek essentially replicated o1 they switched to the ecosystem as the moat.

Would that be odd? AI companies are still staffed by people, and large announcements like acquihires certainly feel like they could use a slightly more human touch if they truly mean a lot to the company.

i would argue our built in heuristics for probability are pretty bad, which is why the monty hall problem is so hard for most people to grasp (even though it is a relatively straight forward application of probability). probabilistic thinking comes much less naturally to the human mind than deterministic thinking.

I was thinking the same thing, and I believe there are trade offs you make in both methods. If you count and group, you just have to pick your own hexcode buckets. So orange and gold are their top two colors in the example, and on our end we would jsut have to decide what range of hex values correlates to orange and what range correlates to gold and what range applies to everything. With deep learning these ranges are effectively learned, so it's more computational and feels like overkill but I can see the benefits.

If I were at work I would probably just choose my buckets and group by the hex counts though, a lot less computation in that and you can get consistent results. If I were having fun I would fit a deep net.
